November 18, 2023 - Served in half bottle by a friend to accompany cheese. The bottle had been stored well for 20 years and was opened 20 minutes before serving.
Pleasant plummy colour and some evidence of fruit on the nose. Once poured, the palate was very smooth, quite palatable, but lacking in any real depth or tertiary qualities. Interesting to taste.1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 29, 2015 - Mandarin cake, mild mushroom, lime jelly bean, vin Jaune, and sexy decaying peach leads to a lemon curd, cocktail onion, washed rind, saline palate.

December 24, 2014 - Nice orange colour.
Cigar box, Orange and dark fruits flagrance.
Mouth starts with oak and earthy notes, then comes agrumes notes. Nice length with acid final -

November 3, 2013 - Bright and dark coloured. Subtle floral aromas emerge, with hints of raspberry.
Time has done its job and rewarded on flavour. Alcohol, tanins, acidity are round and soft. A fresh wine, but with some power that emerges in the mouth, with a long finish. A clasic top notch Rioja, that paired wonderfull with a prime rib roast. -
